Escape (A Sam Pottorff fanfic)

*CREEK* shhh! I told myself. I couldn't get caught again. I crept closer to the door, I was almost there! I reached for the handle when.. "HELLO?!" "Shoot" I muttered under my breath. "KATIE?!" The voice said. The sound of my own name gave me chills down my back. I already knew the voice considering that there was only one other person in this disgusting old apartment. The voice belonged to my freaky and mean boyfriend Tyler. Out of the darkness I saw him coming near me. "WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!" He said. I tried to say something, but no words came out. I was too terrified. He took a step closer to me. "I THINK I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!" I could smell the alcohol and smoke on his breath. "I SAID, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!" "I'm going to the mall, to uhh.. Get you some new shoes!" I was hoping he would believe my lie. "Fine, but if I don't like them, expect a beating tonight" he spat out. "You'll love them!" I said as I grabbed some money and my penny board, and walked out the door. I was still shaking from being so terrified, but I just ignored it and started riding. The mall is about 5 minutes from my apartment so that's a quick ride. When I got there I went inside and began looking for stores I wanted to shop in. Oh I almost forgot! My name is Katie Evans, but you can call me Kat like everyone else. The only person that calls me Katie is my stupid boyfriend Tyler. He's one of the most scary and most rude people I've ever Met. The only reason I stay with him is because he's the only part of "family" I have left. My parents died in a car crash when I was 15. I was dating Tyler at the time and his parents let me live with them, until they bought us our own apartment. I'm 18 now. He beats me almost every night too. I cry myself to sleep every night because of it too. Well that and it's also from my arms being in pain since I cut myself.. That's right, I'm a depression freak. I have no friends but I have many enemies. I was so deep into my thoughts that I didn't realize myself bumping into someone, and falling on the ground. "Great" I muttered to myself. Just another person to hate me. "Oh sorry" I heard the voice say. I got up and looked at the guy. He was the cutest guy I'd ever seen. "It's my fault" I finally answered. "Woah I love your lip ring!" I said getting a better look at his features. "Thanks he said." "I love your face" he added. "What?" I said confused. "What?" He replied pretending not to say anything. "What's your name?" I asked realizing I hadn't heard it. "I'm Sam" he answered. "Sam Pottorff". I didn't know who this sam guy was, but I sure as hell wanted to find out.
